PERSPECTIVES 25th Anniversary - Fall-Winter 2018

Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences 33 Graduate student Anya Ellerbroek worked on several projects with me. These included a one-year study on the effects of protein intake on recreational bodybuilders as well as in trained women. She coauthored six peer-reviewed publications and gave a tutorial presentation at the Inter- national Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) Conference and Expo. Currently, undergraduate EXSC student Cassandra Carson is assisting with data collection on a project related to sleep and diet and will present a related poster at the upcoming ISSN Conference and Expo. At the NSU Undergraduate Student Symposium held on April 6, the EXSC Program demonstrated how it has become an integral part of the university, with student collaborations from the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience and the Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteo- pathic Medicine’s Master of Science in Nutrition Program. EXSC students Daniel Klahr and Christopher Horn worked closely with Mokha, culminating in the presentation of data related to collegiate football players and reactive strength. Sarah Knafo, undergraduate student in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, collaborated with the EXSC Program to present genetic data on athletic performance. Additionally, Cara Axelrod, M.S., a certified Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine sports nutritionist, pre- sented data on pre-exercise supplementation. The Exercise and Sport Science Program will soon have a footprint that is recognized worldwide. It is only via the collaborative efforts of the NSU community that we have been able to grow and prosper. ● Top left: Sarah Knafo gives a presentation.
